Hey all. I've been doing some thinking about production minded purchases and decided on Ableton live along with an APC40.
The topic however isnt about the software itself, but rather the way that some DJs prefer to mix with it as they would with 2 tables and a mixer. I havent given much thought to it in terms of live performance but I was wondering what people think about DJs that record a set and put it online or hand it out to promoters.
I would love to make a mix CD showcasing my taste in music, which happens to fall into multiple genres such as DnB, Breakbeat, House, Proggressive, Techno, Electro and dubstep, among others. My plan was to get a tracklist together, do sections of each genre, and set up tempo automated breakdowns so that each section could be mixed smoothly into another.
After some thought, I was wondering if doing this would be considered misrepresentation on my part. I know I can mix different tempos live, but doing this through Ableton would give a much cleaner mix that I would be proud to give to someone.
What are your thoughts?
